The Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership, Inc.

(NMPP) is a not-for-profit organization comprised of a

network of public and private agencies, community

residents, health organizations and local businesses.

NMPP provides crucial services to women and

children in Central, West and East Harlem and

NMPP’s mission is to save babies and help women take

charge of their reproductive, social and economic lives.

We achieve this mission by offering a number of

programs that help reduce the infant mortality rate

and increase the self-sufficiency of poor and working

class women throughout the above communities

1990: Central Harlem Public Health Crisis

Low birth weight rates hovered around 20% for

Central Harlem in early 1990’s

25% of the women entered prenatal care in first

trimester!

Local health system fragmented, access to care issues,

no plan or political will to address the crisis

The Purpose of Corporate Strategy

Strategies are choices

Strategies should be subversive

Strategies should alert the organization to what it should

not be doing

Strategies position the firm in a unique way in the market

Strategies need to be executed
